Leak from No 10 reveals how Starmer planned to stay in power and the policies borrowed by Burnham: Sky News
- On Friday, a 50-page dossier marked "official sensitive" was revealed by senior government advisers, outlining a survival blueprint covering economic, energy, and national security policies leading to next month's Budget.
- Senior government advisers drafted the document in late April, detailing around 50 policy ideas; Sir Keir Starmer announced around 20 before resigning as an MP earlier this month, while Andy Burnham has unveiled six.
- Proposals within the document include Reforms to capital and property Tax, incentives for the technology industry, and Moves to tackle foreign interference, alongside plans to approve North Sea oil and gas projects like Jackdaw and Rosebank.
- According to The Tory shadow energy secretary Andrew Bowie, the document proves Labour knows these projects support energy security; Robert Jenrick described Burnham as "Starmer with a TikTok account," while Rachel Millward called the administration a "continuity government."
- Former Tony Blair adviser John McTernan urged "a period of silence" from Starmerites, calling the document a final attempt to show continuity; critics note that if Andy were truly the same, Labour would be stuck on 17 per cent in polls.
